This post is dedicated to the Mann Festival Theater in Westwood: the first time I saw it, I knew I should have got a picture. The next time I saw it, it was dark. The entire facade was made not just with neon, but rows of lightbulbs. It must have cost a fortune to illuminate, but I’ll never forget the effect. The Crest looked a little worse for wear when I was shooting. Half the marquee wasn’t lit; let’s hope it’s not the beginning of the end. The Nuart is a bit down the road on Santa Monica, but I included it with these as I shot it on the same jaunt.
